It's Robber Celebration Day!

If you're a square dancer in the San Antonio or Austin area, you already know what today is.  It's Rob-Day.  It's the one day per week when we celebrate crooked, rotten swindlers who cheated a hard-working couple out of a business they built from the ground up.

 

You can celebrate Robber-Cheater-Swindler day, or you can do something positive instead.  Which will you choose?
 

BTW, I need your help please.  This message is aimed at people who are suspected of supporting and enabling low-down varmints who robbed an innocent couple of their life's work.  If you no longer endorse cheating, robbing, lying swindlers, just send me a short note and I'll gladly remove you from this list.  But if you are still profiting from the robbery loot of that years-ago crime, you'll remain on this list because that's exactly where you need to be.
 

Avoid robbers, cheaters and swindlers.  Focus on good wholesome activities instead.  End of message.

Hurry!

Hurry on out to FunDancers to celebrate rotten cheaters such as Johnny Preston who bald-face flat-out swindled an innocent couple out of thousands of dollars and stole their life's work in broad daylight.  Go ahead and reward slime-balls such as Ed Wedig, Fay Wheatley, Sam Bloom and many others who get ahead by stealing from hard-working people and running smear campaigns.
 

How does it make you feel, when you reward cheating swindling lying robbers?

  

Here's one way to feel better:  do the right thing.  Find a good wholesome honorable event instead.

What Did You learn?

Think back to when you were in school.  You probably took classes like reading, writing, math and science. Here's the question:  did you learn the skills you need to get ahead in life?
   
Answer:  probably not.  Consider, for example, the wacky world of square dance clubs.  Look at the people who get ahead in that arena.  Look at the skills they used to get there.
 
In the case of FunDancers, they used skills such as lying, stealing, cheating, swindling, name-smearing, back-stabbing and just downright total rottenness. Those are the skills we should teach in school.  Those are the skills which allow crooks, swindlers, slanderers and deadbeats such as Ed Wedig, Fay Wheatley, Ken Wheatley, Darryl Lipscomb, Sam Bloom, Jerry Story, Arthur Wills, Ted Zahorski, Tim Marriner, Tony Oxendine, Nancy Zahorski, Mike Sikorsky, FunDancers and Johnny Preston to get ahead in life.
 
That same skill-set allows two-faced, false-friend back-stabbers such as Billy Grimsley, Dan Nordbye, Tom Roper, Wade Driver, K O Jeanes, Wayne Weston, Gary Sanders, Bill Wright, Brad Caldwell, Arnold Gladson and Les Hughes to profit handsomely from the robbery of innocent people.
 
So, if you ever want to teach a promising youngster how to get ahead in life, teach the skills they really need.  Teach treachery, lying and just bald-face outright robbing innocent people.  That's how FunDancers got to where they are today, so apparently that's what it takes to get ahead in life.
 
Or ... here's an alternative ... you can steer clear of wrongdoing.  You can choose events which are good, correct, true, honest and wholesome.  You can avoid events staged by lying, swindling, cheating, stealing hucksters.  Choose a decent, moral event instead.

How can we stop this?

Here's a great idea!  Here's a way to stop all the whistle-blowing about crime in the square dance world. This idea just might work. 
 
First, let's agree we have a problem.  The square dance community is beset by a constant stream of messages about cheating, lying, swindling, robbing and downright rottenness in the activity.

Let's also agree that we know what causes the problem. A hard-working couple was senselessly robbed of their livelihood by immoral, calculating swindlers. Lots of people supported and endorsed that crime. Every time a new episode in the crime series occurs, new messages get spawned. This pattern has continued for 29 months, regular as clockwork.  The same pattern will continue for as long as the crime spree continues.

Let's discuss how you can help solve the problem. The internet is a permanent record of mankind's activities. If you do good, moral things then you leave a nice, positive, uplifting record of your actions. But if you help promote robbery and theft, i.e. if you help dirty, cheating, rotten criminals get away with swindling a hard-working couple out of their hard-earned money, then your vile, filthy choices get recorded for eternity.

History is written by your choices.

What happens when someone who does not square dance becomes curious about the activity?  Most people nowadays will do an internet search to get more info.  Whenever someone Googles "square dancing" in the local area, guess what they find?

Do you have any idea how to stop the negative publicity? Here's one idea.  It's radical but it could work.  Are you ready to hear the idea?

The cure is simple and it's in your control. 

Simply stop supporting immoral, criminal, psychotic activities run by cheating, lying, habitual thieves.  Stop cheating, lying, swindling, name-smearing, robbing and being just downright rotten.  Holy Smokes, didn't your mother teach you that it's wrong to rob and steal and cheat? Why do you still need to learn how to act decently?  In other words, what the hell is wrong with you?

Every time you add to the crime spree (by supporting yet another accomplice who rakes in robbery loot to abet swindling, cheating criminals), new messages are born. Each message goes all over the world.  There have been a lot of messages.  That's because there has been a lot of cheating, robbing and loot-spending.
 
Oops, I almost forgot one tiny detail.  Let's "name names".  It's important.  I'll tell you why it's important in a future message.  Partial list of dirty rotten perpetrators of cheating, swindling, name-smearing and theft:  Ed Wedig, Fay Wheatley, Ken Wheatley, Jim Douglas, Johnny Preston, Jerry Story, Wade Driver, Tom Roper, Dan Nordbye, Brad Caldwell, Wayne Weston, Bill Wright, Billy Grimsley, Arnold Gladson, Marie Gladson, Darryl Lipscomb, Les Hughes, Bob McVey, Gary Sanders, Gary Belchik, K O Jeanes, Jerry Jestin, Ted Zahorski, Nancy Zahorski, Arthur Wills, Sam Bloom and many others too numerous to name.

Bottom line:  if you stop supporting cheaters, swindlers and thieves then the messages about your cheating, swindling and thievery will also stop.  Frankly, I don't know any other way to squelch the flood of bad publicity.  If you want good publicity then you'll just have to start doing good things for a change.

Whenever you see negative publicity about square dancing, I hope your chest swells up with pride when you realize that the stories are true and accurate ... and you wrote the stories. History is written by your choices. 

Improve the world!

You, yes you, can make the world a better place. 
 
Here's the situation:  Each week, a band of cheating, robbing, swindling, conniving crooks holds a square dance at a club which they outright, bald-face, totally stole.  You, yes YOU, can improve the world by refusing to endorse such immoral, rotten, lowdown, dastardly deeds. 
 
Here's how to fix it:  Instead of aiding, abetting and rewarding crime, you can choose a good, honest, wholesome dance event ... and encourage your friends to similarly choose right over wrong. You, yes YOU, can make the world a better place.  Don't let rotten, lowlife, no-good, cheating swindlers profit from robbery. Choose a better class of event.  Stop supporting theft.  Improve the world.

Sunday Is Loot Day

Another Sunday rolls around, and you know what that means.  On Sunday, the San Antonio Square Dance movement rewards and encourages looting, cheating, swindling, robbery and theft.

    

This message goes out to hundreds of people, just like yourself, who are suspected of supporting robbery, theft, cheating, stealing and downright rottenness.  The first question to ask is, "are you categorized correctly?"   Yes or No?  Either you reward cheating robbing scumbags, or you don't.

    

If you are categorized correctly, i.e. if you see nothing wrong with out-right bald-face stealing a business from the very people who built it, then you're doing the right thing by reading this message.  This message is aimed at people who support robbery, swindling and theft.  If that's you, then this message is exactly what you need to hear.  In a nutshell, you make bad decisions and you definitely need to stop doing so.

  

If you are categorized incorrectly ... or if you suddenly decide to stop supporting crime ... simply reply to this message, let me know that you're no longer a ratfink robbery-supporting two-faced raunchy crime-enabling scumbag, and your name gets immediately and cheerfully removed from the list.  Also, congratulations for making the right choice.

  

If you happen to know any other dirty rotten crime-supporting fake-friend loot-scooping scumbags just like yourself, they need to also be on this anti-crime list.  Simply send in their email addresses and I'll gladly add them.  Together we can improve the world. People who support crime should be encouraged to make better choices.

  

It's Sunday.  In the local square dance world, Sunday has evolved into "Reward Cheating Swindling Looting Robbers" Day.  It's also "Weekly Reminder That You Should Make Better Choices" Day.

Prove It

Do you believe the old saying "Crime Does Not Pay"?  If so, prove it!  FunDancers ran up thousands of dollars in debt owed to their club founder.  They defaulted on that debt then they outright stole the club from the very people who built it.  They used the stolen robbery loot to run the club.

  

What's done is done.  Nothing you can say or do today can right that historic wrong.  But you can still improve the future ... your future.  You can make a statement ... to yourself and others.  You can prove to yourself and to all future wrongdoers that crime does not pay.

 

First, ask yourself some questions and answer them honestly.  Do you prefer right over wrong?  Do you support honesty instead of theft?   Do you believe people should pay their bills?  Do you encourage hard work to create value, rather than cheating, swindling and robbing to steal value?

  

If you really do believe in right over wrong, prove it ... by avoiding the lying, cheating, deadbeat, robbing club.  Find a good honest dance instead.  Don't reward swindlers.  Send a crystal-clear message that crime does not pay.

Guessing about Honesty

The upcoming dance at The Stolen Club makes a great case study.
  
Back when The Robbery first happened, Joe steered well away from the Cheating Swindlers Who Robbed his Colleague. Even though The Robbers repeatedly asked The Honest One to call for the Stolen Club, Honest Joe repeatedly yet nicely refused to accept Robbery Loot.

Obviously, that has now changed.  This Sunday, more than two years after The Robbery, Joe will, for the very first time, accept Stolen Robbery Loot to call for Lying Cheating Crooks.
 
What changed?  It's time for wild guesses.
 
Joe has been hanging on, for years, in the rapidly dwindling square dance market.  What would _you_ do if _your_ business declined ten percent a year, for a decade? Would you remain totally honest and ethical? Or would you relax your moral standards in order to earn a living?
 
Perhaps the term "Honest Joe" is a relic from the past.  Perhaps he realizes he can no longer make a living by remaining honest.  Now he must accept robbery loot just to make ends meet.  If this guess is correct, isn't it a shame whenever someone has to resort to crime just to stay afloat?
 
People who opt for wrongdoing often "justify" the deed in their own minds.  Perhaps Joe figures that the "statute of limitations" has run out, i.e. all robberies which happened two years ago are suddenly legit.
  
Perhaps Joe is just getting old.  (Aren't we all?).  Perhaps he can no longer remember that, two years ago, one of his so-called "friends" was brutally robbed, swindled, cheated and smeared out of a business which took years to build.
 
Perhaps Joe was once upright and moral, but now The Devil Hisself has Up And Possessed Joe.

We could easily keep guessing.  Guessing is fun.  It's the natural human reaction to a probing question.  Here's the question:  what on earth would make a formerly decent person (like Joe) politely refuse for years to participate in a robbery, and then all-of-a-sudden decide that it's perfectly okay to call for lying cheating swindlers who bald-face stole and smeared an innocent couple out of their life's work? 
 
Why was it wrong, for several years, to profit from robbery, but suddenly today it's okay?  Some questions just really make you wonder.

Here's the biggest question of all.  This isn't really about Joe.  It's about YOU.  _You_ already know that the Stolen Club exists only because of robbery.  _You_ are well aware that dirty rotten crooks cheated and slandered a hard-working couple out of their life's work.  In short, _you_ surely know that something is totally rotten and illegitimate about FunDancers. 

So ... why would you go?  Why don't you find an honest dance instead?  And once you find an honest dance event, invite Joe.

Do you have what it takes?

Johnny Preston is a full-time traveling square dance caller. He has no home club to call for. Instead, he goes out and harvests money from other clubs that other people built. He comes into town, calls a dance, collects a handsome fee and then moves on to the next harvest point.

   

But what if a club already has a caller booked on the date when Johnny Preston wants to breeze into town and seize someone's paycheck?  Does a person who organizes, builds, finances and grows a club get to call for his own group?  Or should a rightful club owner be required to forfeit his paycheck every time Johnny Preston happens to bop into town?

  

Think about a job that you get paid to do.  What if somebody happens to travel through your town one day?  What if this traveler wants to go to your workplace and do your job and collect your paycheck for that day? What would you do? How would you feel? 

  

Fortunately, in the square dance world, respected rules already exist to cover this situation.  Following time-honored traditions, the club owner offered to share his paycheck with Johnny Preston.  In other words, instead of letting Johnny Preston come in and outright steal a paycheck from a hard-working caller and his family, the club owner offered to split that paycheck with Johnny Preston.  (This kind of offer is actually common in the square dance world.)
 

But it is completely uncommon ... in fact it's totally unheard of ... for an out-of-town caller like Johnny Preston to come in and insist on outright grabbing someone's total paycheck.  Yet that's precisely what Johnny Preston did in May 2012 ... and it's pretty much what he does every day for a living.  The club owner tried for months to work out a satisfactory compromise yet Johnny Preston insisted that he has the right to come in and strong-arm outright bald-face steal a paycheck from another caller, any time he wants to.

 
Naturally, I spoke out against such wrongdoing. This protest had nothing to do with money.  It is only about doing what's right.  Any person who builds, finances, promotes and grows a club has earned the right to call for their own club.  It was completely wrong for Johnny Preston to come in and outright steal someone's paycheck in May 2012.  I tried for months to reach a compromise.  Ultimately, crooked swindling robbers at FunDancers decided to go behind my back and collude with Johnny Preston and commit a robbery.

 
The robbers stole everything I owned.  They stole my paycheck for that day.  When I continued to protest about how wrong it all was, the swindling cheaters ran a successful smear campaign.  They stole my club. They stole thousands of dollars that the deadbeat club still owes to this day.  They stole my entire life's work.  I lost thousands of so-called "friends" (who, as it ends up, are all totally fake anyway, so it's not a big loss).

  

Although I lost, big-time, by speaking out against crime and robbery, I actually gained something of great value that money cannot buy.  I gained the honor of refusing to participate in theft. I gained the knowledge that I will not tolerate cheating swindling nasty rotten wrongdoers.  I gained the pride that comes from choosing right over wrong.

  

Do you have that same pride?  You do have a choice.  You can go dance to Johnny Preston.  If you do that, you participate in, endorse and profit from strong-arm robbery and out-right theft.  Or you can do the right thing instead.  You can refuse to participate in wrongdoing.

  

Do you have what it takes to Do The Right Thing?

What is a Square Dance Caller?

In 2004 I set up a website for the entire Rio Grande Valley of Texas.  It cost me hundreds of hours in time and hundreds of dollars of my own money to get the site up and running.  The site was set up as a public service for the square dance community. When I left that region in 2009, I outright gave the website to the couple who will call tomorrow at FunDancers.
 
In early 2012, I enhanced the website so that it can make money by selling ads. This took hundreds of additional hours of time. After I set up the ad program, I showed them exactly how to go out and sell ads. I personally loaded all the ads into the system and showed them how to mail out invoices and get paid.

We agreed to split the income.  Actually, a 50-50 split right down the middle would have been a totally fair deal.  However they negotiated me down to only a 20% share (because I had a real job and they didn't).

So, let's recap.  I came up with the idea.  I set up the website. I put in hundreds of hours of time, absolutely free, and hundreds of dollars of my own money just to get the site running. I set up the advertising program. I showed them exactly how to make it all work. 

They are to get 80% while I only get 20%.  This surely sounds like an extremely generous deal (for them).

Whenever you talk about how square dancing is "friendship", what do you think the word "friendship" means? Perhaps it means "friends" will do all the work and then just outright give someone a money-making website in exchange for only 20% of the action.  Yep, square dancing is all about "friendship", especially when you have "friends" you can use.

Anyway, we made a deal.  They get 80 percent, I get 20.

Except ... they paid me exactly one time ... the very first month the program was running. They never paid a dime after that.  Interestingly, that same month (April 2012) was when Ed Wedig and the Wheatleys brutally, senselessly and criminally robbed, swindled, cheated and smeared me and my innocent spouse out of the square dance business which took us a lifetime to build.

Fast forward to today.  Today, ads still run on the Rio Grande Valley website which I built.  Ad money still rolls in every month.  I still came up with the idea, did all the work, financed the project out of my own pocket, set up everything and showed them how to use it. Everything today is going exactly to plan  ... except  ... I've been cheated out of my share of the deal for over two years now.

Do the math.  Tomorrow's caller has outright cheated me out of nearly $3000. That's in addition to approximately $35,000 which I was directly and/or indirectly swindled out of by Ed Wedig and the Wheatleys when they outright strong-arm robbed me and my wife.

So, let's recap.  What kind of person would cheat a "friend" out of thousands of dollars? Well, that's the kind of person who calls square dances today and/or is a leader in such a "friendly" activity.

To be fair, it's not an isolated problem.  Almost all "prominent" square dance callers today are lying, cheating, back-stabbing, money-grabbing, swindling, robbing, immoral, duty-shirking bill-dodgers.  Let's be honest. Square dancing is way down.  Square dance callers nowadays, if they want to survive, must lie and cheat and swindle ... just to get by.  It's almost impossible to start a new square dance club.  A much better way is to wait until someone else starts a club and then steal it from them.

So whenever you talk about how square dancing is "friendship", just remember that if you are willing to do all the work and put up all the time and money only to get cheated out of all that you built, then you can be a true loyal "friend" to a square dance leader.  But if you are not willing to silently tolerate being a crime victim, then suddenly you're labeled as "crazy" or "unfriendly", etc.

If it's "crazy" to speak out against robbery and cheating, then so be it. Your personal opinion of someone's mental health does not change the unalterable fact that it's just flat wrong to rob, swindle and cheat other people.  Additionally, this same person who rooked me out of my share of advertising revenue (by pocketing the entire amount instead of paying the agreed-upon split) has come in to Schertz many times and helped himself to robbery loot.  When my club and my money and my business was outright bald-face stolen from me, this same "friend" has profited handsomely.  He comes in and scoops up fistfuls of robbery loot, as much and as often as he can, quickly, before it all runs out.

That's what it takes, nowadays, to be a successful square dance caller.  You must be willing to rob and cheat others if you want to survive.  You must totally steep yourself in absolute no-good rottenness.

On Sunday you can dance to a deadbeat who robs his friends, doesn't honor his agreements and cheats his colleagues.  You can dance at a club which was strong-arm bald-face stolen and swindled by deadbeat robbers, name-smearers and cheaters.  You can reward dastardly immoral people who prosper from horrible illegal activities. 

If you dance at Fundancers, you send a message that it's perfectly okay to rob, swindle, cheat and steal. Is that the message you really want to send?

Or ... you can choose do to the right thing instead.  You can avoid robbers.  You can find a good wholesome activity to do.  It really isn't hard to find some other activity which does not require you to reward robbing cheating swindling scumbags.  It's your choice.  You can endorse and validate criminal robbing cheating bandits.  Or you can do the right thing by avoiding wrongdoing.  Which choice will you make, and what message does it send?

Announcing a Square Dance Club for Teens and Brain-Damaged

The human brain is very interesting. Do you know what your "Frontal Lobes" are?  That's the part of your brain which takes the longest time (until your mid-20s) to develop. That same part of your brain lets you know the difference between right and wrong.

  

Have you had your frontal lobes calibrated lately?  Do you know the difference between right and wrong? Here's a simple test to measure your own ability to tell right from wrong. 

1. A square dance club owes someone thousands of dollars.  They default on the debt.  They outright baldface cheat that person out of every penny owed.  Right, or wrong?
2. Someone spends years building up a business.  Rotten crooks wait patiently until the business finally becomes profitable.  Then they swoop in and flat-out steal the business in broad daylight.  Right, or wrong?
3. One of your "friends" is robbed, cheated and swindled.  The robbers offer you some of the robbery loot. You know the funds are stolen but you accept the loot anyway.  Right, or wrong?
4. A special event is held at a stolen club and is financed with stolen funds.  You go to the event anyway.  Right, or wrong?
5. A square dance club does not have a website.  They create a website but it is not about the club.  Instead, the website's only purpose is to smear the name of an internationally-known square dance caller in an attempt to put that caller out of business.  Right, or wrong?
6. An expert thief, crook, cheater, liar, name-smearer and swindler runs for office in a local association.  You do not want to hold office yourself.  To reduce the chance that you yourself might be asked to hold office (and/or perhaps due to sheer apathy), you vote for the scumbag. Right, or wrong?

While most people over age 25 have no problem telling the difference between right and wrong, people who support events at FunDancers obviously suffer from malfunction of the frontal lobes.  Each of the above situations is clearly gregariously totally wrong yet some people still support these wrongs.

  

What might cause you to be completely unable to distinguish right from wrong?

  

One possible reason is that the frontal lobes of your brain are damaged.  To find out if this applies to you, ask yourself, "have I had a frontal lobotomy?".  If so, then you are no longer able to tell right from wrong.  In that case, go to FunDancers where you'll fit right in.  People at FunDancers don't know right from wrong either.

  

But what if you have no brain damage yet you still participate in the outrageous wrongs at FunDancers?  What on earth could make you completely oblivious to the difference between right and wrong?  The only possible reason left (according to science) is that your frontal lobes have not developed yet, i.e. you are under 25 years old.
 

Never argue with scientific fact.  If you participate in the wrongdoing at FunDancers, then obviously you can't tell right from wrong.  If you can't tell right from wrong, then the frontal lobes of your brain do not work.  If your frontal lobes don't work then either you had brain damage or you're a teenager.  If you have not had brain damage, then you're a teenager.  It's simple logic.
 

So, if you're looking for a square dance club for teenagers and/or brain-damaged people, i.e. if you want to be with other people who can't discern right from wrong, go to FunDancers where they rob, cheat, steal, smear, swindle and loot.  If you are brain-damaged, or under age 25, at FunDancers you can find other brain-damaged, teenaged and/or downright crummy people just like yourself.  Come celebrate the loathsome human traits of robbing innocent people, not paying your bills, lying, swindling, looting, cheating, name-smearing and utter absolute nastiness.
 

Of course if you do happen to know the difference between right and wrong, then your choice is even more simple. Avoid FunDancers.  Find something wholesome to do instead.
 

It's no longer enough to simply avoid wrongdoing yourself.  You should also persuade your "friends" (even though there is no such thing as genuine friendship in square dancing, but let's pretend).  Encourage other people to also recognize the difference between right and wrong, and to choose right over wrong.  Of course, if they happen to be brain-damaged or teen-agers, send them to FunDancers which is a club for teenagers and/or brain-damaged people who cannot tell the difference between right and wrong.
 

Bottom line:  If you are brain-damaged or a teenager, seek out other brain-damaged people just like yourself. But if you are able to tell the difference between right and wrong, avoid the wrongdoing at FunDancers.  Find a wholesome alternative instead ... and convince the people who pretend to be your "friends" to do the same.

It's April

News Flash!  FunDancers finally reached agreement with their club caller, organizer, planner, founder and instructor. The club now has their original club caller back, under these conditions:

• Club caller must be paid far less than any other caller.
• If club caller / founder / builder is out of town, club will spend three to six times as much money to get a substitute caller.  Club caller has no say in who they hire, nor in how much they pay.  The only guarantee is that the substitute caller gets far more money than club caller gets.
• Club caller will pay thousands of dollars in club expenses out of his own pocket, never to be reimbursed.
• If the club officers commit another crime, and if the club caller speaks out against that crime, then the club will expertly use their massive powers of swindling, lying, slander and con-artistry to smear club caller's good name which took decades to build.

Good news!  The new deal starts immediately.  The club gets a top-notch caller at a bargain price. If he can't be there, a local caller gets paid far more money to fill in. Club caller invests thousands of his own dollars into building up the club.  When the club commits another outright crime and if the club caller once again speaks out against crime, the club gets to slander and smear the caller / founder / organizer / investor (and his innocent spouse) completely out of business.

Oh yes, one more thing.  Check your calendar and please notice one tiny detail.   A P R I L   F O O L S

Yep, APRIL FOOLS, you rotten sorry crime-enabling immoral degenerates.  If you think I'll ever call for any sorry ratfink back-stabbing swindling cheaters ever again, you need to wake up from your dream.

Still, please notice that the proposed deal closely matches what the club actually had, before they crapped in their own nest. They had a willing, hard-working, talented caller couple who built the club from the ground up.  In appreciation, the club robbed and cheated and swindled and slandered and lied about and smeared and de-friended and back-stabbed that couple to the extreme. When the caller spoke out against crime, he lost every last one of his (as it ends up, totally fake) "friends". 
 
Meanwhile, the immoral scumbags who cheated and robbed and swindled and lied and smeared ... go figure .... they're prospering.  And you helped them do it.  You're a sorry excuse for humanity!  You clearly illustrate the important life-lesson that crime really does pay.
 
Here's the part I can't figure out.  You had ample opportunity to do the right thing (i.e. send a clear message that crime does NOT pay).  You chose to do exactly the wrong thing instead.  You chose to swoop into a crime scene and grab at the robbery loot with both fists, quickly, before someone else gets it all. Wow, what a rotten lowdown crummy thing to do to your so-called 'friend'.  Let's admit it.  In square dancing, "friendship" lasts only until the robbing, cheating and slander begin.

Dirty rotten scoundrel lying cheaters just bald-face outright stole a square dance club right in front of your eyes, and you know they stole it, and you helped them do it.    You helped lying robbers cheat an innocent couple out of years of hard work.  You watched a hard-working talented couple lose their entire lifelong investment in square dancing.  You watched expert swindlers turn every last fake friend against their crime victim.  You witnessed total worthless lowlifes get clean away with crime as they prospered from outright robbery, cheating, lying and swindling.  You watched expert cheaters and swindlers rip off an innocent couple, motivated by the simple fact that master con-artists need an occasional innocent victim in order to keep their swindling skills polished.

Why on earth did you do it? What on earth is wrong with you?  Why can't you recognize a robbery when you see one?  Surely your mother taught you the difference between right and wrong.  What is just so compelling about crime that you just have to chose it over doing what's right?  How can you justify helping crooks spend robbery loot, when you know the loot was stolen?  Why can't you find a good decent event to support instead?  What's so intriguing about crime scenes that you're just forced to participate and to help crooks prosper?
 
If you ever find yourself wondering, "What's wrong with Square Dancing Today?", the answer is simple.  Just look in the mirror.  You support crime.  You profit from the robbery of so-called "friends".  (In square dancing, "Friend" means "someone who pays the bills so that no one asks YOU to pay your share".)  When you were offered a clear choice between right and wrong, you went out of your way to chose wrong.  When you heard damaging gossip, you immediately jumped all over it.  You're just lower than low.  The square dance activity is in such bad shape today because it has followed your lead.

I got cheated out of money, time, labor, friends, etc.  But at least I kept my good sense.  But you got cheated most of all, because you allowed expert con-artists and swindlers to alter your own perception.  You simply cannot tell the difference between right and wrong.  Yes, it's April Fools ... and you are the fool.

C'mon FunDancers

C'mon FunDancers, really and truly. 

 

Do the right thing.  Pay your bills.

Two years ago, FunDancers realized they owed thousands of dollars to the couple who organized, founded, bankrolled and grew the club.

 
What would you do, if you found yourself owing thousands of dollars?  I surely hope you would not make the same rotten choice as FunDancers.  When faced with a mountain of debt, they simply defaulted.  They declared the debt null and void.  They refused to pay even one penny. 
 
They chose to spread lies such as:

• LIE:  "We don't owe any money" ... yet in fact you owe thousands of dollars.
• LIE:  "We pay our bills" ... yet in fact you have not paid even one cent despite repeated requests for payment.
• LIE:  "That person was never associated with our club" ... yet in fact that person organized, bankrolled and grew the club from the ground up, and everyone knows this.
• LIE:  "We built the club ourselves with our own money" ... which is true only if stealing a bunch of money suddenly makes it "your own money"
• and the most despicable LIE of all:  "The person we cheated went crazy and therefore deserves to be robbed"

The bottom line is that FunDancers outright bald-face stole thousands of dollars in broad daylight. They use the robbery loot to hire immoral callers who knowingly accept stolen funds to call for dancers who willingly participate in a crime.

 
Meanwhile, one thing remains constant.  The club still owes thousands of dollars in debt.  They haven't paid one red cent.
 
So, ignore the constant stream of lies from cheating lying swindlers.  They're only trying to cover up their own crimes.  If the lying cheaters are really such tireless supporters of square dancing, why don't they pay their bills?  The plain truth is that the club still owes their founder many thousands of dollars.  They have not paid even one cent toward the huge debt they ran up.
 
Surely you recognize the difference between right and wrong.  Do you like to reward theft?  Do you believe that people who rob, cheat, lie and swindle should prosper?
 
Me neither! 
 
C'mon FunDancers.  You apparently want people to believe you're the good guys. The best way to make people believe you do the right thing is to actually do the right thing. Pay Your Bills!  The time for lying and excuses is over.  It's now time to finally do that one thing which you should have done all along but which you never even attempted to do.
 
You ran up thousands of dollars in debt.  You defaulted on that debt.  When your crime victim refused to silently take a robbin', you lied and smeared people's good names like crazy.  But you still owe the money.  You still use robbery loot to hire accomplices to your crimes.  Those are the facts.  If you don't like the facts, then do something different and create different facts.

  
C'mon FunDancers.  All of your dirty rotten acts in the past are just flat wrong.  There's only one way to correct this. Simply stop doing wrong things.  Stop lying, cheating and robbing.  Start doing the right thing instead.
 
C'mon Fundancers.  Do the right thing.  Pay your bills!

Need Your Help to Figure This Thing Out

Here's the situation. FunDancers ran up thousands of dollars in debt. One day, while the person who was owed the thousands of dollars was out of town, the rest of them had a meeting. They decided to:

• default on the debt, without paying even one single penny they owed
• outright steal thousands of dollars
• steal the entire club
• tell numerous lies
• swindle and cheat their so-called "friend"
• take over the stolen club, and 
• use the robbery loot to continue operations.

Here's the part where I need your help to figure this thing out. Why on earth would you participate in, celebrate, enable or even tolerate such swindling, cheating bald-face robbery? Don't you consider yourself to be a "good" person?  If you're really a good person, then why would you help someone cheat and steal?  Can't you find an honest dance to go to instead? Out of all the dances you could choose, why would you chose the only area dance where rotten immoral scumbag crooks totally robbed and swindled an innocent couple out of their life's work?

In other words, if you supported the robbing cheating swindling lying crooks, what were you thinking??? Why is the simple concept of "avoid a crime scene" so difficult for you to comprehend?

Hey Elmer Fudd!

Need Your Help

PSSSST! Pardon me. I have a small favor to ask. Can you help me? Helping is easy. Here's how you can help.

Dirty crooked robbers outright stole a business after it was built by an innocent couple. The bad guys cheated that couple out of thousands of dollars, years of hard work and hundreds of supposed "friends".

The bad guys then defiled and smeared the good name of the business and its originators, down to the point where a fair and just resolution is simply not possible. The robbery was totally unfair, unprovoked, unmitigated, unreasonable and without excuse. The stolen business has been raped and plundered and desecrated and ruined beyond any hope of recovery.

You might wonder how you can help. Thanks for asking. It's actually easy. Here's how you can help:

DON'T SUPPORT THE ROBBING CHEATERS. Don't allow rotten lying plundering crooks to get clean away with criminal acts.

Crooks outright stole a local business. They totally cheated and swindled the people who built the business. SO ... here's where YOU come into the picture. Here's what YOU can do, to help improve the world. AVOID that business. Don't allow crooks to profit from crime.

You really CAN make a difference. Simply make the right choice. Resist the lure of stolen robbery loot. Choose wholesome above-board activities instead. Avoid crime and criminals. Discourage robbing cheating lying name-smearing swindlers. Make the world a better place.

Old-Fashioned vs. New-Fangled

The old-fashioned path to success: invest lots of time and money to build a square dance group. After you invest thousands of your dollars and years of your time, you can relax and enjoy the fruits of your own labor.

But that's so old-fashioned.

The new-fangled way, and the way chosen by FunDancers, it to dupe someone else into building up a nice club for you. Be patient!  After the fledgling enterprise grows and eventually becomes self-sufficient, then you can swoop in and steal the club.

If your crime victim gripes about being robbed, plan and carry out a smear campaign.

You'll have to admit that the above strategy is ... successful.

The lowdown cheating swindling scumbags who stole FunDancers get to enjoy a nice square dance every week in their own hometown. They did not invest all the time or money required to build up a club. Instead, they waited until someone else made that investment. Then they outright stole the results of someone else's work.

The old-fashioned way is to build. The new-fangled way is to steal. The old-fashioned process involves paying your bills. The new-fangled way is to run up a huge debt and then default on that debt. Instead of paying what you rightfully owe, wait until your victim goes out of town, steal every last cent you can, then use the loot to hire accomplices. If anyone protests, paint them as a lunatic.

Don't laugh. The strategy does seem to work.

So ... if you want to validate and reward people who cheat, swindle, lie and rob, then you'll want to dance at FunDancers. But if you cannot support the ideals of theft, double-crossing, defamation, and robbery loot, then you will want to choose a different venue instead.

You might be wondering about my purpose. First, I do not want my club back. It's too late for that. While it would be nice to get reimbursed for at least some of the many thousands of dollars which were outright stolen from me, that's only a side issue. The main thing is that we must stop rewarding crooks and robbers. In a proper world, theft and swindling should not lead to prosperity. FunDancers must be shut down, strictly because it is so horribly wrong for bad people to profit from robbing good people.

With so many good honest dances in the region, why on Earth would you patronize a dishonest swindling cheating stolen club who doesn't pay their bills?

Local Square Dance Group Needs Your Help

Months ago, a local square dance club installed incompetent immoral officers who robbed the club's founder / originator / investor of many thousands of dollars. The crooks used the loot to run the club.

When the crime victim protested, the rotten defamatory swindlers spread all kinds of lies. For example, they claimed that no robbery ever took place and/or the victim deserved to get robbed and/or the money they outright stole was actually a gift. Their alibis prove the ancient theory: "there is no honor among thieves".

If you helped the crooks get away with robbery then you are a party to one of the biggest crimes in square dance history. Yet the sad truth is that the stolen funds have finally petered out. The club recently had to make a "slight" adjustment by hiking their admission price by a whopping SIXTY PERCENT.

When's the last time you had a sixty percent raise? We're talking "desperation". The club operated a good long while on stolen funds but that loot has simply dried up. Now the club needs to steal more money, in a bad way.

Here's where you can help. All the club really needs is a new crime victim. If you will simply let expert con-artists rob and cheat you out of thousands of dollars (the same way they robbed me) then the stolen club can continue to operate on robbery loot in the future (just like they've done in the past).

One tiny word of warning. If you get cheated and robbed by immoral crooks, don't even CONSIDER protesting to the square dance "friends" that you THINK you have. You will learn that the "rock-solid" friendships which you THINK you built are actually as fake and as flimsy as a puff of smoke. After you become a crime victim, you will LOSE EVERY LAST BLASTED FRIEND you THOUGHT YOU EVER HAD. Your fake friends will gleefully swoop in and help the robbers spend all the loot stolen from you.

Of course you could always choose to do the right thing instead. You could go to an honest dance instead. You could refuse to reward robbery, crime, cheating, swindling and theft. But most people will not stand up for what's right. They don't have enough backbone. It's far easier to go along with the crowd and grab at the stolen loot before someone else grabs your share.

There's only one drawback to that philosophy: stolen robbery loot eventually runs out. So, step right up and become the next chump. The previous robbery loot is almost depleted, the ticket price has been "slightly" adjusted by a whopping 60 percent, and the club desperately needs another robbery victim. Who will it be? Could it be you?

I've already had my turn. Now it's your turn to get robbed. If you ever helped the cheating swindling scumbags spend any robbery loot, I very sincerely hope that you get what you richly deserve by becoming the next crime victim.

Wouldn't It Be Nice?

You already know the story. Cheating swindling crooks rob innocent couple then use the loot to entice immoral backstabbing lowlifes to share in the robbery proceeds. Dirty underhanded crafty smear-tactics are endorsed by ignorant masses who have no clue about the difference between right and wrong.

You have the opportunity to do the one and only "right" thing here. You have the oppotunity to avoid a crime scene and to stop rewarding cheating swindling robbing crooks. Although many people have that golden opportunity, some do not have enough backbone to do the right thing.

So, enjoy wallowing in wrongdoing. I hope each of you gets robbed and I also hope you discover that your long-term "friendships" vaporize into thin air the very minute that you become a crime victim.

Quick question: whenever you get robbed, cheated, swindled, smeared, etc ... will you be completely gracious and accepting? Or do you instead expect victims to remain silent (as long as the crime happens to someone else) (and you get to profit from the crime)?

What goes around, comes around. Go ahead (while you still can) and enjoy participating in robbery, name-smearing, cheating, swindling, stealing, looting, etc ... because it won't last forever. Help the robbers spend the loot today, but watch out for tomorrow. Swindlers and cheaters are always looking for other people to rip off. Maybe you can become their next crime victim. Wouldn't that be grand?

Burning Questions with Obvious Answers

If you're looking for expensive entertainment at a bargain price, here's good news. The ripoff artists who swindled and stole thousands of dollars from an innocent couple, then lied profusely (by claiming their victim is crazy and therefore deserves to be robbed), then ended up running a square dance club which they outright bald-face flat-out stole ... well, guess what?

They use stolen robbery loot to hire immoral back-stabbing crime-enabling callers to call for people just like you, i.e. folks who enthusiastically support lying, cheating and swindling.

So ... come on out and help the perps get away with robbery. Pretend you don't know that there's a difference between right and wrong. Dance to a turn-coat cut-throat scum-bag caller at a stolen swindled club run by cheaters and swindlers who criminally defame anyone who dares speak out against wrongdoing.

Don't bother asking obvious questions such as:

? How did ignorant neer-do-well swindlers end up running the area's premiere square dance club?

Obvious answer: the dirty lowdown crooks outright stole the club from the very people who built it.

? What kind of caller will gladly prostitute himself out in exchange for stolen robbery loot?

Obvious answer: any caller the rotten crooks ever hired. Every last one of those callers knew beyond all doubt that they would get paid with the proceeds of a robbery. They chose to ignore the facts and grab at the loot.

? If you expect someone to do the right thing, doesn't that person first need to know what's right?

Obvious answer: Yes, and that's the sad part, because these animals apparently do not understand the fundamental difference between right and wrong.

? What mistake did the crime victims make which caused them to end up so ruthlessly robbed?

Obvious answer: They completely trusted people who happen to be cheaters, robbers, swindlers and crooks.

One more question which you really should ask:

? If you patronize and support cheating, swindling, lying, robbing, lowdown varmints, how can you be sure that they won't choose you as their next crime victim?

Obvious answer: Aye, there's the rub. If you're happy because innocent trusting victims got robbed, surely you'll be overjoyed when those same crooks choose you as their next crime victim. If you associate with robbing cheating swindlers: lotsa luck ... you're gonna need it.

Just one small favor, please. When you become the next crime victim, please don't act like it's a big sudden surprise. It's really simple. If you want to get robbed and cheated, hang out with robbers and cheaters. If you prefer not to get smeared and swindled, simply stay away from swindlers.
